Evaluation of One-Way Flagging Operations

The objective is to establish a more defined and reliable standard for determining appropriate construction times and limitations to minimize traffic delays and increase safety during one-way flagging operations. This would be done by evaluating the roadway capacity, queue lengths, and travel times during one-way flagging operations throughout Utah. This research could also identify times and locations where one-way flagging operations could be extended, thereby reducing project timelines and costs. Ultimately, by improving construction operations, the safety of flaggers, other highway workers, and the traveling public will improve.
